Do you need to get back on a healthy meal plan after Thanksgiving? This is the recipe to help you get started. I had a beautiful piece of salmon for our fish night and had marked this recipe from Bon Appétit. It’s a great work night recipe or any other night when you want to get dinner on the table in 30 minutes. I’ve made only a very few changes from the original.
